When you export a font file in Type 1 font format the metrics files (in AFM
and PFM formats) are automatically written. The TrueType font format
includes all metrics information so it is not necessary to export additional
files.
However, if you want to export a metrics file alone, you can always do
so by using the Metrics Window. Just press the
button on the Metrics
Window toolbar. The Standard Save File dialog box appears_
Select the destination format (AFM or PFM for single master fonts and
AMM or MMM for Multiple Master fonts), and the destination directory.
Enter the file name and press the OK button to save the metrics file.
You may choose whether to save the font information (.inf) file along with
the .afm metrics file or not.
